[quote=Anonymous]I’ll speak for my spouse here as he had the happiest childhood and adolescence one could imagine by all counts. He is the most patient, kind person you could meet, never raises his voice or loses his temper. I think a lot of that is simply genetic (his parents are great so he’s great too essentially) but also due to the fact that he experienced so much happiness, peace, and calm as a child that he felt at ease and free to enjoy his life so he had no reason to get upset/angry/lose his cool.

In contrast i as a kid w an abusive alcoholic parent and parents who fought a lot was always on edge, on high alert, could never feel relaxed or at peace and so even now after 20 years living away from my parents and years of therapy, still feel that same anger/fear/sadness I felt as a child on a daily basis and still feel like at any moment people might blow up at me so I’m always on guard and I’m quick to lose my temper. I know I can’t blame it all on my parents but they really put me at a disadvantage..whereas my spouse seems so well equipped to deal with the everyday stresses of life.[/quote]
